Step into the fascinating world of ancient fossils with "The Fossil Hunter: How Mary Anning Unearthed the Truth About the Dinosaurs" by Kate Winter. This award-winning book, honored with the Klaus Flugge Prize 2024, invites curious young readers to explore the life and legacy of Mary Anning, a pioneering fossil hunter whose discoveries have shaped our understanding of prehistoric life.

Imagine the thrill of finding something mysterious—an artifact that holds secrets from the past. Mary Anning experienced this as she scoured the cliffs and seashores of Lyme Regis, uncovering strange rocks and shells that turned out to be the remains of monstrous marine reptiles and dinosaurs. These creatures once roamed the earth millions of years ago, leaving behind traces that Mary helped to piece together, paving the way for modern paleontology.

Kate Winter's beautifully illustrated book features:

  • Stunning panoramic fold-out pages that enhance the reading experience
  • A treasure trove of facts and illustrations that captivate fans of natural history
  • A narrative that inspires young explorers to delve into the mysteries of the earth's past

As JUNO magazine describes it, this is a "captivating story" that is "wonderfully atmospheric," making it perfect for reading again and again. With engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations, The Fossil Hunter: How Mary Anning Unearthed the Truth About the Dinosaurs is a must-have for every young explorer's library.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
